The Cost Of Selling Your Home

If you want to sell your house, or worse yet, need to sell your house, then you obviously want the most you can get from your buyers. However, that's easier said than done. There are a lot of things to consider when selling your house:

• Do you sell with a Realtor^TM or on your own?
• What kind of repairs have to be done before you can sell?
• Does the house have the "curb appeal" to attract qualified buyers?
• In a slower market, how long can you make the payments?
• Is there enough equity in the house to cover the expenses of selling?

If you sell with a Realtor^TM, they'll probably tell you right up front to paint, replace carpet, or any number of updates and repairs that you might not have considered. Dependnig on the age and condition of your house, that can be a huge expense!

Updates and repairs, along with commissions, closing fees, upkeep, and who knows how many months of mortgage can quickly swallow any equity you think you might have. To get a feel for the costs of selling your home, just fill in the form below. You may be in for a surprise!
